of the Property at 00:00 noon on 5th February 2022.
7. Should neither party have brought the Tenancy to an end at or before the expiry of the Term, then a
new tenancy from month to month will be created between the Landlord and the Tenant which will

giving the Tenant the notice required under the applicable legislation of England (the "Act").
Rent

agents may enter the Property to make inspections or repairs, or to show the Property to prospective
tenants or purchasers in compliance with the Act.
Renewal of Agreement
19. Upon giving written notice no later than 90 days before the expiration of the Term, the Tenant may
renew this Agreement for an additional term. All terms of the renewed agreement will be the same
except for this renewal clause and the amount of the rent. The Landlord may increase the rent from

renewed and the Tenant must vacate the Property at the end of the initial Term.

20. The Tenant will obtain written permission from the Landlord before doing any of the following:
a. applying adhesive materials, or inserting nails or hooks in walls or ceilings other than two
small picture hooks per wall;

g. affixing to or erecting upon or near the Property any radio or TV antenna or tower.
24. If the Tenant no longer occupies the Property as its only principal home (whether or not the Tenant
intends to return) the Landlord may, at its option, end the tenancy by serving a Notice to Quit that
complies with the Act.
25. If the Tenant has abandoned the Property and the Landlord is unsure whether the Tenant intends to
return, the Landlord is entitled to apply for a court order for possession.
26. If the Tenant has abandoned or surrendered the Property and the Landlord feels that the Property is
in an insecure or urgent condition, or that electrical or gas appliances could cause damage or danger
to the Property then the Landlord may enter the Property to carry out urgent repairs. If the locks have
been changed for such urgent security reasons, the Landlord must attempt to provide notice to the
Tenant of the change in locks and how they can get a new key.
27. If there is implied or actual surrender of the Property by the Tenant, the Landlord may, at its option,
enter the Property by any means without being liable for any prosecution for such entering, and
without becoming liable to the Tenant for damages or for any payment of any kind whatever, and
may, at the Landlord's discretion, as agent for the Tenant, let the Property, or any part of the
Property, for the whole or any part of the then unexpired term, and may receive and collect all rent
payable by virtue of such letting, and, at the Landlord's option, hold the Tenant liable for any
difference between the Rent that would have been payable under this Agreement during the balance
of the unexpired term, if this Agreement had continued in force, and the net rent for such period
realised by the Landlord by means of the letting. Implied surrender will be deemed if the Tenant has
left the keys behind or where the Tenant has ceased to occupy the Property and clearly does not
intend to return.
28. If the Tenant has abandoned or surrendered the Property and the Tenant has left some belongings on
the Property, the Landlord will store the Tenant's possessions with reasonable care for a reasonable
period of time taking into consideration the value of the items and cost to store them. Once the cost
of storage is greater than the value of the items, such items may be disposed of by the Landlord.

Parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English Courts.
